The only way to eat an avocado is when they’re deep fried in a Panko crust and dipped in a chipotle cream sauce!
I’m always a late bloomer when it comes to television shows. I tend to get into them 3-4 seasons in so once Jason downloads all of the episodes, which could sometimes be 40+ episodes all at once, I get somewhat addicted to the tv. This happened with Grey’s, Lost, Dexter, Breaking Bad, and now The Walking Dead. And guys, let me tell you – The Walking Dead – AMAZING. Seriously. I’ve powered through seasons 1-3 in a span of weeks and Jason and I have a date to watch the season 3 finale tonight so if my post doesn’t make much sense, it’s because I’m rushing through to get to the tv.
But before I cry my eyes out again {SPOILER-ALERT} like I did when Norman Reedus watched his brother become a walker, let’s talk fried avocados. I didn’t even know you could fry them but once I discovered this magic, I don’t think I could ever go back to the uncooked version. With a simple flour-egg-Panko crust, these babies get fried in a vat of hot oil to absolute crisp, golden-brown perfection. But before you scurry off to devour these, you can’t forget about the chipotle dipping sauce.
Now if you’ve been following Damn Delicious for a while, you know that I love anything and everything involving chipotle, from these hot dogs to these sandwiches. And each time I made something with chipotle, I used the canned chipotles in adobo sauce, which is great except I’d use a tablespoon or so and then wrap up the rest, put it in the fridge until it grew mold and then tossed it. A lot of waste was involved. That’s why I was thrilled when I discovered Olo’s chipotle paste. Packaged in a cute little toothpaste-like tube, I could use a tablespoon here and a tablespoon there without any waste! And I’ve been making a ton of more dishes with chipotle since it’s just so easy to use now. So here’s a fair warning – you’ll be seeing a lot more chipotle recipes from here on out!

3. Season avocados with salt, to taste.
4. Working one at a time, dredge avocado slices in the flour, dip into the egg, then dredge in the Panko* crumbs, pressing to coat.
5. Working in batches, add the avocado slices to the Dutch oven, 5 or 6 at a time, and fry until evenly golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
